MONDAY'S RESULTS
Portland 12, Oakland 0
(Only game scheduled)
nlay got under way today In the
Pacific Uoast league baseball
race.
Hollywood and San Diego, as
expected, were running one-two
in the chase, with San Francisco
a close third. Sacramento, as pre
dicted, was down in the base
ment. However ,the surprise was the
poor showing of the Oakland
Acorns after playing 13 games.
The Oaks have won only four
and their pitching appears to be
iust about the worst in the loop.
However, Owner Brick Laws has
been assured he'll get some
mound help from the New York
Yankees in the near future.
Meanwhile, the teams square
off again tonight, with Holly
wood at Portland to test the sur
orising Beavers, Sacramento at
Los Angeles and Oakland at Se
attle. San Diego invades San
Francisco.
Last night, the Beavers defeat
ed Oakland for the third time in
a row, 12 to 6. for their fifth
win in the six-game series. It
was the worst performance so
far this season for the hapless
Acorns.
The Beavers went into a 2 to 1
load in the third inning and were
never headed from then on. In
the next frame Oak Pitcher Earl
Jones was replaced by Forrest
Thompson. Beavers' Bob Cher
ry, Vince Shupe and Eddie Bas-
msKl promptly slammed out
three consecutive doubles to tote
up four more runs.
The Oaks put four pitchers in
to the fray, with Jones getting
credit for the loss. Red Adams
was winning pitcher.
Louisville. Ky., Apr". 11 (U.R)
The Boston Red Sox are putting
their much-famed power on dis
play. If Ted Williams isn't stag
ing a one-man show there Is al
ways somebody else to fill in
for him.

44 PC Balks
In 2nd Week
San Francisco, Apr. 11 (U.R)
Pacific Coast league pitchers
didn't learn a thing in the sec
ond week of competition at
least as far as the controversial
balk rule is concerned.
The moundsmen. who handed
base-runners 44 free advances
during the first week, came right
back with 44 more balks the
second week for a total of 88.
During that time there have been
only 52 games played.
Most of the managers and
players during the first week
took the "wait and sec" attitude.
But today, while veteran man
agers like Del Baker of the San
Diego Padres and Lefty O'Doul
of the San Francisco Seals still
favored the "hesitation." Red
Kress, new manager of the Sac
ramento Solons, termed it "a pain
in the neck.
